STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Frank Siller, chairman and CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, will be presented with the 2021 Genesis Legacy Medal by the National Purple Heart Honor Mission on Sept. 28 at Federal Hall in Manhattan.

Siller, of Westerleigh, founded the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in honor of his brother, New York City firefighter Stephen Siller, who was off duty when he ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel (Hugh Carey Tunnel) and ultimately laid down his life at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. The foundation’s Smart Home Program builds adaptive homes for catastrophically injured veterans across the country.
